Synopsis
I held Daddy s hand looking down into an empty hole, our basement of our new house being built, I didn t know the horror that lay in wait for me The basement wasn t just a place to play dolls in At the age of five, I was sexually assaulted by my brother there until we moved in the fourth grade I was introduced to sexual things no little girl (or boy) should ever be I told my mother, she looked at me coldly and said "Nice girls don t act like that, never talk about this again" I must not be "a nice girl" because it was happening to me, now I knew I had no one to help me No one As I grew up this terrible secret was making me sick I tried anything, to get rid of this inside pain and still look "normal" outside As I grew it took me down a dark spiral staircase into a world of sex, drugs, alcohol to numb the pain in my mind and heart which were growing darker, and harder by the moment My life was raw, in your face I tell it as I lived it The pain will follow us through life, if we don t face it, deal with it I found hope on my quest to live a "normal" life Take this journey with me, see there is hope for you as well
